;-) that's why I played with the test_fallocate.c, as it was easy to do
and I understood, the author (of the patch) wanted to trigger some
reviews ... I do not (yet) know anything about the core codes, so I
leave this to the hackers. My review result was, that with newer gcc's
you should specify an open mode flag as third argument of the fopen
call, as only with the test tool nothing important found.
